Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1322 Ragnarok of the Gods (94)

Li Jiting smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

After the crisp sound, Cheng Mo felt as if he had reached the bottom of the steps, and there was a tunnel of alternating light and dark in front of him. He stood still, and the tunnel seemed to be rolling and moving by himself, and soon a grand light appeared in front of his eyes , as if walking to the exit of the tunnel.The field of vision suddenly became wider, and the Hall of Extinction that repeatedly cycled between day and night was covered with light like snow, like a snow country in daytime.

The beast-eared girls in nurse uniforms were already cleaning up the 38 bodies that were still on the long table. Now they really turned into corpses. The beast-eared girls took down Ouroboros, covered them with a white cloth and carried them up. cart.

Li Jiting walked to the long table. Right in front of his eyes, the two beast-eared girls had already cleaned the table, packed up Astaru's body, and prepared to carry it away.

"Wait!" Li Jiting walked up and whispered.

The two beast-eared girls immediately moved aside with their hands down.

Cheng Mo was secretly startled. He guessed that Li Jiting had just used some kind of skill to change the flow of time in different spaces.This skill is really unpredictable.He watched as Li Jiting walked to Astaru's body. It seemed that the dead Tianbang powerhouse had never operated on himself, and he didn't even have the basic operation to stop the bleeding. He probably just watched himself bleed and died. Death.No matter what Astaro's psychology is, Cheng Mo has to sigh that this is a ruthless person.

Li Jiting skillfully covered the pale face like a zombie with his hand, brushed it lightly, and his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness were tightly closed.Then Li Jiting looked at Dr. Charlie, and said softly as if he was afraid of waking someone up: "Remember to bury them properly."

"As you order, king."

Li Jiting turned around and looked at the "Jester" who was sitting upright, and coldly called the other person's name, "Bai Meng."

Baimon lowered the head of the starfish, and said in an almost flattering tone, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Do you know why you passed the test?"

"The king's mind is like the Pacific Ocean, and his subordinates have no ability to guess."

The last trace of tenderness in Li Jiting's words also disappeared, "Although Astaroth himself died, he at least kept the bottom line and preserved the family. And you will not only die without a place to bury yourself, but you will also bring your family a new life." Come to the disaster!"

"My lord, what do you mean by this?"

"There's no need to play dumb in front of me, Baimon. You should be clear! Betrayal is an unforgivable sin!"

Baimon opened his dark blue eyes wide at first, and the white lacquer mask that was attached to his face like the texture of his skin perfectly showed disbelief, but when they looked at each other, his expression calmed down, and he shrugged. Shoulder said: "Yes, I betrayed you. Your ideals are too lofty and illusory. I am a layman, and I don't want to live in fear of the Black Death forever. Besides, what are we to you? It’s just trash that can be thrown away at any time. What can a trash like me do other than seek refuge in the star gate? Accept your hypocritical benevolence, and then die?”

Li Jiting stared at Baimeng coldly, "Only cowardly people would blame others for their own tragedies." He waved his right hand, but did not see him touch Baimeng. He grabbed his neck and floated in mid-air.Baimon clenched his fists tightly, and his limbs were flashing with lightning, but no matter how he struggled, he was like a beast bound by invisible chains, unable to move in mid-air.

The Hall of Extinction was silent, only the sound of thin electric currents and Baimon's heavy and feeble breathing, tearing the air.

Cheng Mo watched Baimeng's dress cracked and turned into rotten cloth strips, his thick and thick limbs were exposed, and blue veins writhed on his blood-red skin like snakes. He thought to himself, no wonder no one dared to resist with force. Li Jiting is really too strong. , Baimeng, who is ranked No. 20 in the heavenly list, doesn't even have room to struggle.

But at this moment, Baimeng smiled strangely, "FXXK YOU, Nebuchadnezzar! This is a greeting from the first general." After saying that, countless cracks appeared on the surface of Baimeng's body, and the cracks revealed There was a dangerous light, as if something was about to burst out of the ground, and in the next second, Baimeng's huge torso was burst by the light, and the light illuminating the Extinction Hall became extremely dim, like a candle that was about to go out. The stargate bald eagle logo composed of black light spots and golden light swelled in all directions, like a huge black eagle floating in the sky trying to devour everything.

Li Jiting's white wings hanging behind his back flew up in the grand light, and soared into bright feathers.One pair protected Li Jiting, and the other two formed a circle, wrapping the black-spotted laser bald eagle into a Kongming lantern floating in the void.

Amid a series of explosions that resounded through the sky, the light disappeared invisible in the light feathers. Li Jiting also folded his wings and walked towards the end of the long table as if nothing had happened.

What happened was too fast, and because of the angle, except for Cheng Mo who was standing behind, probably no one could see Li Jiting's two pairs of wings wrapped in light, entangled with traces of oily black air.Even if he saw it, he wouldn't feel that this little damage was nothing to the second general.

Cheng Mo thinks so too.

Li Jiting returned to the end of the long table. Dr. Charlie immediately brought a glass tray and placed it in front of Li Jiting, "Wang, three of the 41 demon gods who failed the examination passed the operation and completed self-rescue. The other 38 demon gods all Death, their Uroboros and identity badges are all here. In addition, Baimon's body has been replaced, not himself, but his clone." Doctor Charlie lowered his head, "This is the negligence of his subordinates."

"Clone? Hehe." Li Jiting smiled and indicated that it's okay, "But Baimeng must still be in the Garden of Eden, you go find him and don't let him run away."

"Yes." Doctor Charlie disappeared in the Hall of Extinction.

Cheng Mo was also surprised when he first heard the inexplicable psychology of "cloning human beings", wondering if cloning human beings can also activate the original Uroboros?The Black Death really produced a large number of talents, not only the lunatics like Sith the Clown that people don't know how to evaluate, but also the bastards like Joey Oakes who hide under deep water like a turtle.Although Astaru did not have much contact with him, it can be seen from the words and deeds of the other party that Jubi is a ruthless person.As for Baimeng, matured clones have a limited lifespan. If you want to continuously cultivate clones like yourself, you need a lot of money and great patience, and you have to take the risk of failure. Obviously Baimeng is definitely an old coin .In addition, not to mention Athena, a genius who is both good and evil.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Li Jiting clapped his hands three times and said with a smile: "Congratulations to all of you who are determined and are real doctors." He put down his hands and said seriously, "Let's start the meeting directly. "

Cheng silently followed Li Jiting's gaze and looked around the long table. Among the three demon gods who had just completed the operation, one was actually the indistinguishable demon god of Gremory.

"From now on, I will let go of my name and responsibilities and become an ordinary person. And the new King of the Black Death will be assumed by the new Nebuchadnezzar beside me."

There was still a smell of blood in the air, and everyone lowered their heads slightly, as if they were listening to Li Jiting's teachings. Facing the earth-shattering news, no one gave even a hint of doubt.

In the silence, Li Jiting turned his head to look at Cheng Mo behind him, pulled him to his side, and said in a deep voice: "My child, I know that you don't really want to be the king of the Black Death, and I also know that you are a king of the Black Death." A wise man who is not fond of power and power. But now, now that you are here, I have to ask you, do you have the courage and the will"

While everyone was watching, Li Jiting raised his hands, and solemnly took off the rusty and crystal clear crown of thorns from his head.

The lights in the Hall of Extinction went out again, leaving only the candlelight flickering in the darkness.The blood-red candlelight reflected the crown of thorns, which was sometimes bright and sometimes dim. It burned like a torch in the darkness, emitting a powerful and mysterious halo.

Li Jiting held the "Crown of Thorns" in both hands, staring solemnly at Cheng Mo, "...Put on this crown full of sins and curses."

The majestic voice echoed like an aria in the Hall of Extinction, and the candlesticks on the long table seemed to be blown by the cold wind, jumping between flickering and flickering.

Li Jiting didn't say a word of nonsense, and went directly to the topic, Cheng Mo was a little caught off guard.He wondered why the enthronement ceremony was the same as getting married, and he had to answer such a shameful "I do", couldn't he just point it out?What do I want me to do?
Just when Cheng Mo rolled his throat and was about to open his mouth to say the phrase "I am willing", Li Jiting whispered in his ear as if reciting a Buddhist scripture, "Once you wear the crown of thorns, you will only be able to watch Your relatives and loved ones will die one by one! Your light will not protect your descendants! Nebuchadnezzar will be your only name."

Cheng Mo trembled all over, he suddenly looked at Li Jiting, but only saw a cloud of white mist, he looked around, everything around him was shrouded in mist, suddenly he was the only one left here, only that A "Crown of Thorns" stood coldly on the long table with a bloody smell like a moonlight full of thorns.

Covered in cold sweat, he squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice, "What do these words mean?"

Floating over from the depths of the white mist, he chanted in a low voice like an explanation, the voice was far away and then near, "Cheng Mo, there is a price for everything. Wear the 'Crown of Thorns' and you will stand outside time. If you force yourself If you have the power to change the fate of those close to you, you will suffer backlash."

"What backlash?"

"The curse will be upon your offspring. So every Nebuchadnezzar has no offspring. Before I wore the crown, I had five children. One died of disease, one was killed by the enemy, and one was lost. Missing, another one became crazy, the last daughter lived past 70 years old, she hated me all her life and never married. After I wear the crown, no more children will be born to inherit my worldly It’s my surname.” Li Jiting said lightly, “Actually, it’s not necessarily a curse. When you wear the ‘Crown of Thorns’, you will become the enemy of the chosen ones all over the world. This is a natural thing that will happen. Cheng Mo, you You should be clear about what you are going to face."

Cheng Mo finally understood why Li Jiting didn't look like a ruthless person, but he acted so ruthlessly.I finally know what Dr. Charlie meant when he said to Astaroth, "You don't even know what price the king paid" at the beginning.

Eternal solitude - that's the price of being Lord of the Black Death.

This price was indeed somewhat beyond Cheng Mo's imagination. He never thought that it was Cheng Linglu who finally prevented him from becoming the king of the Black Death.It's fine if there are no descendants, it's not unacceptable for him to have no children in the future.But Xiaolu is such a cute little girl, he really can't imagine what will happen to Mr. Shen and what will happen to him if something happens to Chenglinglu.

Even if it's just a possibility.

The most important thing is that after paying such a huge sacrifice, the power gained cannot be used on oneself.

Does it make sense?

Inexplicably, Cheng Mo felt unbearably hot, like a flame burning between his clothes and his skin. He was sweating profusely, and his soul was being scorched by the flames from hell.He didn't want to live such a completely bound life, nor did he want to be a complete idealist.He doesn't even want to sacrifice himself, or even sacrifice the people around him, why all human beings seek welfare.

He was never that kind of person, nor was he of such noble sentiments.

He just wants to be an ordinary person and be with the person he likes.Just like what he did in Xingcheng before, he accompanied Shen Youyi to buy vegetables every morning. They walked hand in hand through the wet long street, picked freshly baked braised vegetables in the vegetable market, green vegetables soaked in morning dew, and weighed some of Xiaolu's favorite. beef.He watched Shen Youyi bargain, and then he carried the bought vegetables, and she took him home on her arm.

Usually at this time Athena must still be sitting on the bed reading a book, and the deer must be swimming in the air. My daughter likes Athena the most and makes her swim around the room like a fish like an astronaut.Seeing Cheng Mo coming in, she would giggle and circle him like a tropical fish. Sometimes she would throw the bear doll to him and ask him to throw it back. She ran away after kissing her, and liked him chasing her on purpose.

The scene when Xiao Lu shyly called his father with his eyes closed for the first time jumped out of his mind.The scene of a family sitting at a round table and having dinner with the sunset.The deer is wearing a beautiful little skirt, and Athena takes her to play the scooter scene in the square at dusk.

He heard his daughter's silver bell-like laughter fluttering in the night wind, and he felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness.

He had never imagined that he would have such a state of mind when he had a daughter. When he looked at her, his cold pupils could not help showing tenderness, which was difficult to control, like a slippery faucet, no The water gushed out towards the outside without stopping, and it couldn't be closed.Especially when she was jumping up and down, staring at him with a shy smile, and calling him daddy in a childish voice.He made up his mind to protect her, even if he would destroy the world.

However, if he wears the "crown of thorns", all the ordinary scenes of life will be far away from him.

All his relatives and friends will also be implicated, and his daughter will be put in danger.

This crown of thorns is more vicious than a curse.

He asked in great pain: "How can I take off the crown of thorns?"

Li Jiting, who seemed to be hiding in the depths of the white mist, sneered, "Have you thought about how to take it off before you put it on?"

Cheng Mo retorted: "I don't know who is thinking day and night to get rid of the curse from the 'Crown of Thorns' as soon as possible?"

Not to be outdone, Li Jiting said, "I admit that the curse has overcome me, so now it's your turn."

"I want to see, isn't power and eternal life what human beings desire most? Didn't you also like to escape meaningless love before? Now the opportunity has come, exchange useless love for power and eternal life!"

"Why are you still hesitating? I can tell you that the situation of Tai Chi Dragon is not optimistic."

"If you hesitate any longer, you can only collect the corpse for your friends."

Li Jiting's voice was full of malicious temptation, like a pious demon standing in a golden light to persuade humans.

Cheng Mo said coldly: "Don't play a clown here, answer my question."

Li Jiting smiled faintly, "There are three ways to get rid of the crown of thorns, death, living for 300 years, or exceeding the upper limit of experience points."

This answer is almost the same answer as there is no way.

"The upper limit?" Cheng Mo couldn't help but wry smile. He couldn't be more familiar with experience points. Ordinary Chosen Ones need 33 experience points to upgrade to full level 99.And he needs 99 experience points to upgrade to level 99, which has not yet been opened. Over the years, he has only accumulated 99+ experience points, which is one hundred and eighty thousand points away from the full level. Qianli, this is also the reason why he is not very keen on leveling up, experience points are too difficult to obtain.

The upper limit of the experience value is one billion, and he needs to earn one billion experience points, unless it is to destroy the earth or save the earth.

"There are 79 billion people on the earth, and one billion experience points don't seem too much." Li Jiting said.

"I'm not that overwhelmed." Cheng Mo said irritably.

"But are you overwhelmed now? Do you have other choices?" Li Jiting smirked, "With power, you will be able to do all the impossible! I will not give it to anyone around me. Bringing misfortune, that's what I thought at the beginning."

Cheng Mo's body was twitching.

"Didn't you say that a long time ago? You have no choice. Then what are you still hesitating about?"

Cheng Mo replied with some annoyance: "Because this is not a dream, not a virtual world. It's reality."

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is, there are too many people here that I care about"

"You have no confidence."

"Yes, I don't have the confidence." Cheng Mo roared at the white mist, "I don't have the confidence to defeat the Star Gate! I don't have the confidence to keep my daughter from suffering this curse! I don't have the confidence to change the world. I shouldn't come here!"

"Then forget that your mother is still missing! Forget how your father died! Forget what your dead wife told you! Forget how your father-in-law was killed! Just Forget it, you can live your own life!" Li Jiting sneered in the depths of the white mist, "I told you, you should choose to go back to the past, but you have to choose reality. See, reality is too cruel to accept right?"

"Shut up." Cheng Mo said weakly.

"OK, I'll shut up. But silence also has to make a choice." Li Jiting said with a pun.

He closed his eyes, but the crown was still burning like a flame in front of his eyes.

Suddenly, he recalled the story of "Asura" in "Sensual Theater".

It seems that it is time to have to make a choice again, and life is always full of such difficult choices.

The image of the ending of "Asura" flashed back in front of his closed eyes, like a collection of highlights edited into a promotional film.

The picture freezes on the conversation between him and Aoi Xiyuanji.

"I think maybe it should be like this. In the story of "Asura", I need to be a great saint. I know that I am not saving the kind-hearted people at the bottom, nor are they all hardworking and brave people. Even the vast majority of them are Ugly, barbaric, numb, depraved. They do all kinds of bad things, they are rascals, they have no quality, and it is not a pity to even wipe them all out. And I must be a human being who understands this world and then accepts it The world, and the saint who is still willing to use great love to change the world, can be regarded as completely cutting off all sensory enjoyment, getting high scores, and passing the test."

"The saint will weaken and die. When the saint weakens, those selfish people will show their fangs. When the saint dies, the order he established will gradually collapse because of loss of control. The saint usually only saves people For a while, people cannot be saved forever. Then, human beings fall into a cycle of misfortune.”

"History has given the answer, hope, faith, and enemies are indispensable!"

He thought in the fiery silence: "Anyway, you never planned to be a saint. As long as you don't become a saint, it's not that difficult, right? As long as I'm cautious and ruthless enough, I can avoid the curse, right?"

"It's just to avoid the curse, you will no longer be you. The self who yearns for freedom will always wear thorns and a crown on his head. You will be accused by thousands of people and become a tyrant who deserves to go to hell."

"This is also a good ending. At least it can have the best of both worlds. As for me sacrificing myself, hasn't this been what you have always done? Just do it again."

Cheng Mo opened his eyes, the light of the crown of thorns in front of him was no longer as scorching as the flames that were close at hand, it was unsettling and frightening, he had to accept the role of "King of the Black Death", he knew it before What does this mean? Just take Li Jiting's words as threats.Let go of the past and become a new character.He will become a king, for countless dead people, to realize - an impossible ideal.

It is ridiculous for a selfish egoist to do such a thing.

He saw the flames in the crown go out, and the flames that had burned him cool down.

He raised his head, the white mist dissipated, and Li Jiting was in front of him again. He stared at Li Jiting's pupils full of vicissitudes, as if he had fallen into a deeper and darker abyss.He seemed to hear Li Jiting saying to him: "Being an idealist is the biggest depravity. You have to sacrifice all of yourself in order to see a glimmer of light in the darkness."

"I'm not an idealist, I'm just" he whispered to himself.

Li Jiting stared at him and asked, "What is it?"

Cheng Mo raised his head, and the two of them stared at each other for a while, before he calmly replied: "It's just a cold-blooded and heartless villain."

Li Jiting laughed, and that smile was filled with joy on the verge of death: "Why do I feel that you are scolding me?"

"I'm just scolding you." Cheng Mo said coldly.

"It's a bit of a villain's aura, but it's not enough. You still need to wear a crown to become a great devil who can make the world tremble!" Li Jiting's pupils were beating with excitement, "Now, you just need to say With those three words, you will become the new Lucifer, the fallen angel! The demon king of hell! You will have power over time!"

Cheng Mo was silent for a while, closed his eyes, opened his lips slightly, and spit out a few cold syllables like a self-defeating sword——

"I am willing."

The candle went out.

The hall is like the eternal night of hell.

Only the crown was burning like a torch in Li Jiting's hands, and the flames rose like a galaxy in the universe.

Li Jiting's wings spread slowly, and he held up the "Crown of Thorns" like a priest of the night holding up a blessing to the King of Kings.

The demon gods sitting upright raised their treacherous masks and stared at it wholeheartedly, as if they were staring at a grand celebration with the themes of death, life, and eternity.

The flame rose to the highest point, like the torch in the Olympic opening ceremony.

Li Jiting faced the remaining demon gods and sang loudly: "No. 30 Second Nebuchadnezzar. No objection!"

After a brief silence, Dr. Charlie stood up first. He raised his right hand facing Cheng Mo, "No. 90 Fourth Barr, no objection!"

Immediately afterwards, Athena, who was ranked second, also stood up, and she also raised her right hand to Cheng Mo, as if swearing, "No. 90 Fifth Asmodeus, no objection!"

"No.90 Fifth Vasago, no objection!"

"No. 90 Seventh Malbus, no objection!"

The demon gods sitting on both sides of the long table stood up one after another, raised their right hands and voted loudly, and the majestic and resonant voices resounded throughout the Extermination Hall.

Until Gremory, the last living demon god with 56 pillars, stood up, and after You Qi loudly swore "no objection", Li Jiting raised the crown and faced Cheng Mo.

The majestic "Mozart No. 40 in C Major" sounded in the Hall of Extinction. This is Mozart's last symphony. In the third year after completing No. 40, this great genius passed away forever.Before his soul returned to heaven, the last movement left behind was technically perfect, magnificent, majestic and resplendent, radiant at all times, so it was also called "Jupiter Symphony", which is called "Jupiter Symphony" in Latin. Iuppiter, the king of the gods in Roman mythology.

Accompanied by the majestic music, Li Jiting said solemnly: "Please put your right hand on your heart and follow me!" Cheng Mo was not at all excited, only a pain and pleasure of falling into hell, he slowly put his right hand on the heart. the location of the heart.

"I, Nebuchadnezzar, will remember my duty to the world."

"I, Nebuchadnezzar, will remember my duty to the world."

"Human beings will never be allowed to slip into degeneration!"

"Human beings will never be allowed to slip into degeneration!"

"Never allow the sins of the world to grow!"

"Never allow the sins of the world to grow!"

"Never give in to evil!"

"Never give in to evil!"

"Never surrender to power!"

"Never surrender to power!"

"Never betray your conscience!"

"Never betray your conscience!"

"Never self-justify to weaken the will to resist injustice!"

"Never self-justify to weaken the will to resist injustice!"

"Never indulge in the pleasure of power and become a prisoner of desire!"

"Never indulge in the pleasure of power and become a prisoner of desire!"

"Fight for the justice of mankind for the rest of my life!"

"Fight for the justice of mankind for the rest of my life!"

"From now on, you will be the shining morning star, the king of hell, the seraph, the lord of the plague, the lord of the black death, Nebuchadnezzar 33, the immortal king who controls time and darkness—Lucifer!"

Cheng Mo lowered his head.

Li Jiting slowly placed the crown of thorns in his hand on top of Cheng Mo's head.He felt a sharp stabbing pain from the top of his skull to the soles of his feet.He gritted his teeth and said nothing, pain like electric shock gathered in his back, and a chill came out from the bottom of his heart, as if something had burst out of his body.

"Whether to bind with the binding artifact 'Crown of Thorns', it will be irrevocable for 300 years after binding."

Cheng Mo stared at the crystal crown of thorns spinning constantly in the void, and clicked "Yes".

"Please choose your container: body OR carrier. Once selected, it is irrevocable, and you will only appear in one image."

Cheng Mo clicked on "Ontology".

"The 'Crown of Thorns' binding is complete. You will become the immortal king who controls time and darkness."

The pain like a thousand cuts tore at his body, he didn't know what he would pay, but he knew what the enemy would pay.

"call!"

A mighty wind rang out, and he felt three pairs of extremely wide wings growing out from his back.They were as white as new, like a surging blizzard.

"Jupiter Symphony" reached its climax, and many notes exploded in the air like bright fireworks.

The rusted "Crown of Thorns" was deeply embedded in the top of his head, like a flower that had been soaked in blood, glowing magnificently again.

He spread his wings to look at the world.

The demon gods knelt on one knee, dozens of shining weapons pointed directly at the sky, and their deafening shouts resounded across the earth: "Your will will be our mission!"

"Long live my king!"

"Long live my king!"

"Long live my king!"

Cheng Mo raised his head.

A new king is born.
